The problem with biodiversity loss is that people don't care about it en masse. We just don't give a shit about nature collectively and biodiversity has complex relationship with profit to humans, because we can largely compensate loss of wildlife with more fertilizers and more sophisticated agriculture and farming. Which makes it even harder politically to act on it.
Now of course global ecosystem degradation will hit the poor in developing countries very hard. But it's not like anybody who can take meaningful action cares about them either. And as opposed to climate change, the rich are isolated of the effects, so they have no incentive to push here either.
